The Path to Rome

Belloc describes his pilgrimage on foot from St. Cloud, France to Rome. While sleeping the the woods and walking 30 miles or more each day in the heat, Belloc also describes the common people and towns he goes through.

The Path to Rome recounts a spiritual pilgrimage in a time and through places now gone. But Belloc’s robust enjoyment of his adventures heightens and preserves that pilgrimage.
